well ill be busy all day tomorrow. but im sure erocker will call in sick or something to play it

 

[joinmeindeath417]

I will be picking it up perso]nally now that i've been confirmed there is still hardcore mode.

but anyway here this is for everyone else



I still don't see why anyone is really offended by the terrorist level of the game, as it is just a game. The fact they let you skip it if your offended is pretty nice of them.

When you rip through people in other games how come its not offensive? Being based off real life situations or not. Its what sturrs the emotions.

yeah a few have said that you can skip it, still its in there i just dont know how people cant feel it was a bit to far

as i said im usually indifferent i dont get all giddy and i dont say its all terrible
i know its not real but i still was like damn thats sick because it is a representation of something thats real, its meant to be like that

manhunt was a bit sick but i was like its fake it would never happen, this is just glorifying terrorism and is a realistic graphical representation whether or not they planned it to be


i dont know why im being persecuted for feeling like that

Ive always wanted to know what it is like to kill many, many innocent civilians. Since this game is coming out, i dont have to actually do it, so i went ahead and disarmed the bombs i had previously set.

kind of funny but mean at same time. some people have feelings and arent a braindead horse

"The scene establishes the depth of evil and the cold bloodedness of a rogue Russian villain and his unit. By establishing that evil, it adds to the urgency of the player’s mission to stop them."
Thats like saying you have to have someone die of a horrible disease, condition or illness for you to want to do something about it or to care about it, pretty cynical attitude!

3870x2 i know that is clearly a joke but why would someone want to see what its like to do that? Who would have that frame of mind? They'd have to be pretty mental!

I dont condone anyone who plays that scene they shouldn't be persecuted just as people who feel its a bit much shouldn't be either after all it should be the developers who should be questioned for wanting to create scenes like that.

If in gta im running up the kerb knocking over people i never feel like im purposely trying to do that like kill innocent people (i never deliberately say yeah im gonna go and hunt down this old granny i just dont have that frame of mind) im just getting somewhere faster, in this scene i would feel im purposely killing innocent people.
I hardly know games that put people in that situation if they exist ive never played them and that would probly tie in with my personality.

You should have joined the Marines instead man.

I suppose look at it like a movie or tv show. I cant think of a specific example. But you think "wow that bad guy's a douchebag, i hope the good guy kills him" Now you're the good guy and you get to kick some serious ass.

But it is a video game and ur the bad guy in this case. well i suppose u can try and shoot your teammates.

ROFL try to shoot your team mates!

In those stories you see the thing happen for example the persons wife is captured or something, you dont actually go capture the wife and then suddenly go back to being the hero who has to save her.

Pretty dumb analogy but you dont have to go bowser and steal the princess to want to save her.

 

[3870x2]

at the time I joined, marines did not have a special operations team. MARSOC came later. Blame SOCOM.

Also, damnit, it was funny, all feelings aside (pansy). And dont make fun of my braindead horsey!

yeah its true. you dont need that. i guess its just raising the bar in an odd-weird way.

BS. Marine RECON has been around since forever man. However you made the right choice

pfft, marine recon is equal to army rangers. We dont work with marsoc as much as you think we would though.

No longer talking about whether or not we should be horrified or not. If they showed you the acts in a cinematic sequence it would be just as violent and just as horrible yet it would be different for the player, watching it is just like witnessing it all your doing is being shown the acts, like in real life if we see these things happen on tv or in a movie. You didn't actually do it and had no control so you feel powerless you would feel like it was a terrible act, the realism would only add to that effect but now you did the act so you have to question yourself, you have to think the whole purpose was to kill those people, your whole purpose in that scene was to be a terrorist.

There is a distinct difference between showing an act for dramatic purpose and being made to do an act.

It would work better if it was a cinematic cutscene. The developers deliberately choose not to do this to be all controversial.

Never in a Rainbow 6 game do they have you killing and blowing people up as the terrorists, they always show the acts or describe them in passing. None other games like this take itself seriously, like L4D never actually pretends to be a graphical representation of a real life act unlike MW2.

 

[troyrae360]

has anyone tryed the multiplayer on PC yet?

 

[DaedalusHelios]

How about they start paying you guys better. Blackwater, back when they were still being used in Iraq, made more money then you guys. Its BS.

 

[Cold Storm]

Here you guys go.. If your up in arms over the game.. Then the British might want your help

Gamer's Voice looks to be "open to the public".. So, it should be via anyone. No matter where they are from.. At lease my look on it..


Then, here is some Good news of what Activision is doing via COD:MW2 Project CODE

 

[troyrae360]

IMO if you dont like a game for what ever reson, then you dont have to buy it.

Has anyone played Multiplayer on PC?

Whats it like?

 

[joinmeindeath417]

how come i have a feeling this thread is going to close again?
